1. Voltage level conversion: RS232 drivers convert logic-level signals to the higher voltage levels required by RS232, while RS232 receivers perform the reverse conversion.

2. Noise immunity: RS232 drivers and receivers are designed to handle noise and interference commonly encountered in communication lines, ensuring reliable data transmission.

3. Signal conditioning: These components provide signal conditioning and buffering to ensure the quality of the transmitted and received data.

4. Driver enable/disable control: Some RS232 drivers include enable/disable control pins to enable or disable the driver circuit, allowing control over the transmission of data.

5. Protection features: RS232 drivers and receivers often include protection mechanisms such as overvoltage protection and short-circuit protection to prevent damage to the ICs and connected devices.
